Everett Collection

Have any Valentine's Day plans yet? Through the years of a relationship, how you spend the day of love totally changes. Check out all the stages of how your Valentine's Day evolves with a significant other, from a new couple to the pair that's been married for decades.

01

Your first Valentine's Day is all about the grand gestures.

Flowers, chocolate, dinner — it all happens because it has to.

02

And you wear the superhot lingerie.

Because he still hasn't seen you in your giant man sweats.

03

But a few V-Days down the road, you're scarfing those grand gestures down right in front of him.

What, does he think you're going to wait to eat them?

04

And getting straight to the good stuff.

Who wants dinner anyways?

05

Then comes the Valentine's Day of pizza and only pizza.

Because you're over the crowded restaurants.

06

Don't forget the hot flannel pajamas.

Lingerie just seems like a lot of work.

07

Next comes the kids, and you have to schedule the holiday in a limited time slot.

Precious rest can't be wasted!

08

There's always that one year that doesn't go so well.

Every Valentine's Day can't be rainbows and butterflies.

09

But you finally get the perfect routine down.

After several years, you know exactly how to celebrate.

10

And it's just as great as your very first Valentine's Day.

Because you're spending it together.
